BJP MLA's son caught on camera thrashing man for blocking his way on road

A son of a BJP MLA was caught on camera thrashing a man for not letting his vehicle pass. Reportedly, the incident took place on June 1 but was shared on social media only on Saturday.

In the video footage, Raja, the son of the minister of state for Panchayati Raj and rural development Dhan Singh Rawat, can be seen beating up a man. Raja overtakes a Swift car, blocks its path, drags the driver and thrashes him mercilessly.

A retired police officer said, "The victim was pressurised as his father is a government employee. The police can register a complaint under IPC section 323 (voluntarily hurting someone), 447 (criminal trespass) and other sections but the police is also not acting under political pressure."
